It's humankind versus a race of machines bent on harvesting organic life in this second official novel based on the BioWare video game.

After discovering a cache of Prothean technology on Mars in 2148, humanity is spreading to the stars---the newest interstellar species, struggling to carve out its place in the greater galactic community. On the edge of colonized space, ship commander and Alliance war hero David Anderson investigates the remains of a top secret military research station---smoking ruins littered with bodies and unanswered questions. Who attacked this post, and for what purpose?

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

Humanity has reached the stars, joining the vast galactic community of alien species.

The Illusive Man, leader of the pro-human black ops group Cerberus, is one of the few who know the truth about the Reapers.

Vingt ans se sont écoulés depuis que Dark Bane a anéanti l'ancien ordre voué au côté obscur et s'est imposé comme le dernier Seigneur Noir des Sith. Désormais ne subsistent plus que lui, pour incarner le pouvoir, et Zannah, son apprentie, pour le convoiter. À l'issue d'un ultime duel, Zannah doit tuer son maître et prendre sa place, mais elle tarde à relever le défi. Bane, qui refuse de voir son rêve se briser à cause de la faiblesse de son apprentie, s'est juré de trouver l'holocron de Dark Andeddu qui renferme le secret de l'immortalité.

Among the dark streets of the city move thieves and cutthroats. And they don't like independent operators like Lhasha Moonsliver. But when she hires the town drunk as a bodyguard, she gets more than she bargained for. Together they'll have to battle the thieves' guild, the Cult of the Dragon, and other, darker foes. And a fallen man will have to remember the proud warrior he once was.

Darth Banes Schülerin Zannah ist unwürdig. Warum sonst hat sie ihn noch immer nicht herausgefordert, um selbst die Sith-Meisterin zu werden? Doch dann entdeckt Bane eine Möglichkeit, unsterblich zu werden. Ist das die wahre Lösung für das Schicksal der Galaxis: die Herrschaft eines ewigen Sith-Lords? Bevor er sein Vorhaben in die Tat umsetzen kann, erkennt Zannah allerdings, dass sie jetzt handeln muss – oder auf ewig zu einem Leben als Schülerin verdammt wird.

Tausend Jahre, bevor Darth Vader und sein Meister Imperator Palpatine die Galaxis unterdrückten, waren die Sith zerstritten und darum für kaum jemanden eine Bedrohung als für sich selbst. Doch dann kam Darth Bane, der Schöpfer der Dunkelheit. Er zerstörte das alte System, in dem die Sith wie Könige herrschten, und erließ die Regel der Zwei: Ein Meister, ein Schüler. So schuf er die Sith, wie wir sie heute kennen, lieben und fürchten.

The Children of Fire - four mortals touched by the power of Chaos - each embody one aspect of a banished and fallen immortal champion: Keegan, the wizard; Scythe, the warrior; Cassandra, the prophet; Vaaler, the king. Now grown to adulthood, the Children are in search of the ancient Talismans that can stop the return of Daemron the Slayer, ancient enemy of the Old Gods. But in acquiring Daemron’s Ring, they’ve left in their wake death, destruction, and a queen bent on revenge.

I Sith sono scomparsi, tutti tranne Darth Bane, creatore della "Regola dei Due", la quale stabilisce che il nuovo Ordine dei Sith sarà composto solo da due persone: un Maestro e un apprendista. Ora Bane è pronto a passare all'azione, perché ha trovato una potente apprendista da avvicinare al Lato Oscuro. Ambientata mille anni prima degli eventi narrati nei film di George Lucas, racconta la storia di Darth Bane, il potentissimo Signore dei Sith creatore della vecchia Repubblica.

Darth Bane besiegte nicht nur die Jedi, er vernichtete auch seinen eigenen Orden beinahe vollständig. Nun wird er aus der Asche etwas Besseres schaffen, etwas Stärkeres. Es wird einen Meister geben, der die Macht besitzt, und einen Schüler, der nach ihr strebt. Er ahnt nicht, dass ein junger Jedi-Padawan ihm auf die Schliche gekommen ist. Und selbst wenn: Was kann ein einfacher Padawan gegen den letzten der Sith-Lords schon ausrichten?
